PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher Dog Toy
The PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher is an automatic fetching machine that can be used by dog and owner or just the dog. The automatic launcher features make independent play easy and fun, while multiple safety features protect people and pets. The launcher was designed with three motion sensors for optimal safety. A sensor located in the front keeps pets and people safe while walking in front of the launcher, while a sensor in the launch pocket keeps hands and snouts safe. There is an additional sensor to detect when a ball is in the launch pocket to initiate play. Another safety feature allows the dog to play for a full 15 minutes before going into a 15 minute rest mode so the dog does not overwork themselves. There are 6 angle and 9 distance settings to really mix up playtime or to create indoor and outdoor use. Play a short game of indoor fetch at 8 feet or go outside and stretch those legs at 30 feet. Different angles make it extra fun! Plug it in or use 6 D batteries for portable play. The PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher is safe, fun and totally versatile! Two standard-sized tennis balls, power cord, training instructions and user manual included.

Every dog plays differently and, since not all toys are created equal, it’s always best to keep a close watch on your pup in case things get ruff. Supervised play will help toys last longer and most importantly keep your pal safe. No dog toy is truly indestructible, so always remove the toy from playtime if pieces begin to break off.

disappointed
By labmom on Jun 6, 2019
I was so excited to order this launcher since my puppy likes chasing balls all the time. Very hard to open battery compartment had to use tools and afraid to snap plastic. Loud scared dog for quite awhile. Doesn't really launch as far as I thought. Fun but not worth the price.

Just Ok- not worth the money
By DogMom on Feb 13, 2019
I purchased this in the summer of 2018. It was great for a while. Chewy made a comment that it was easy to clean. It's really not easy to clean. Also, it just isn't durable. While it did work my dog loved it and learned how to use it quick AFTER getting used to how loud it is. If they can improve the design I'd consider it again. As of right now, it was just a waste of $160!

Ball thrower
By Molliesmom on Mar 16, 2019
Set this up today and my dog is afraid of it. She loves playing ball but she does not like the noise.

Probably better
By Puppers on Nov 26, 2018
I have a collie and a german shepherd, the shepherd hates the thing (actually runs to the other room if I go anywhere near it). The collie, who loves fetch, refuses to bring the ball back. I'll keep trying, but so far this may have been a wasted purchase. Recommend ball other than a tennis ball. The dogs just want to tear the ball apart, a more durable ball would be recommended.

Not worth the money
By Bobb on Dec 29, 2018
Very disappointed with the performance. It’s a toy. The “launcher” sends the ball a distance of about 8 feet. It offers very little exercise for my dog. I would not recommend this product.

Not for the price
By Jayhawk1 on Jan 1, 2019
Does not have the distance of the video. Even on high. One dog figured it out early other is scared of the noises from the machine. For the price, I would not recommend.

Love this product - concern about stamina
By Scout on Dec 13, 2018
My dog loves this machine and plays with it constantly. Has even learned how to feed himself. However, after 30 days no longer working. Company is covering as a defect. I hope its an isolated issue.

Does not fit different size balls
By Tansy on Oct 4, 2018
This would be a perfect dog toy if it held different size and weight of balls. My daughter and I both own German Shepherds and they both will only play with certain balls. Otherwise if your dog enjoys playing with tennis balls only, this looks like an awesome way to keep them busy.

Loud when shooting ball

A good launcher
By Launcher on Sep 17, 2018
This machine is good for outdoors honestly. It is pretty loud and it doesn’t stay in place but the features on it is amazing and fun as well!
